With a private tour does that include a helicopter tour?
Going on a tour of Dyker heights. Can’t wait.
My kids and I are coming for four days on Sat. A little nervous and overwhelmed but super excited ! Doing a couple Broadway shows, 9/11 and Central Park and who knows what else
Do you have any videos with a 1 year old??
Hi Sarah, I love your videos! I would love to see a 'what to do in NYC in a 5 day visit' Video, I am from the UK and really want to plan a trip sometime in the near future! Thank you :)
I’m from Brazil, sorry about my English 🙈 but I just want say thank you for your perfect job here on TH-cam! Me and my husband wach your videos every weekend! We love! You are the best!!!!!!!!
Sarah, you are not just a local expert on NYC, you are a GLOBAL expert on NYC!!! :) Superb Videos, Great tips even for those of us on a shoestring budget!
We're glad you enjoyed Grand Central's iconic Oyster Bar & Restaurant, Sarah! Thank you for your visit!
My pleasure! Thank you for having me!
I watched your videos to plan a trip to NYC back in September and it was one of the best trips I've ever had. I have been to NY many times, but never explored the way I got to this last time. Watching this one makes me miss the city.
thank you so much for your awesome intel videos!!! We are going mid next year and I am doing all my research now and stumble upon your channel! So happy I did! 😊
Kudos for the Museum of the City of New York!
I’ve loved it for decades, Sarah.
May you and your family have a beautiful holiday season! ❤️
Was interested in it until I seen they support the terrorist organization Black Lives Matter. No bueno.
I really appreciate your videos. They helped me make plans and schedules stayin in Newyork💜
Thank you for watching! I'm glad they help! :)
Hi Sarah!!! I’ve been watching a marathon of your videos!! I’m from Puerto Rico, going for the 1st time w my husband and teenager son for NYE!!! I’m beyond excited and learning a lot from your channel!! Any recommendations for NYE in NY?? Thank you!!
Great vid Sarah & MILK BAR is life
Thank you! Milk Bar is amazing!!
Well done, you gathered crest info. Thank you keep doing what you are doing, you are goood at it.
Thank you, I appreciate that! Thanks for watching! 😊
I tried Bleecker Street pizza when I was in Greenwich Village for the pride march back in 2019….it tasted so good…a bit pricey for one slice but it tasted amazing. I will say though that it had a slightly sweet taste to it…I think it was the tomato sauce….it was definitely a bit sweeter than Long Island pizza.
Sarah i truely have to thank you for all your videos they have totally prepared us. My daughter and i fly out to NYC tomorrow we were really nervous but after all your info we are feeling alot better ty tyty
Just got back from nyc this morning. Summit one AMAZING! A must. Thanks for the tip in a previous video.
Thank you for sharing! Great! Food and tours 😀❤💖👍
Thank you for watching! 😊
My first trip to NYC is in Jan! Thank you for the tips!
Great video today Sarah. First-timers to NYC should find this a perfect introduction to the place (as well as many of your other NYC tips). For me personally, you have to spend weeks in all the different boroughs to experience New York but this encapsulates a beautiful essence of the must-dos particularly for those who come just for a couple days. Keep smiling!!
I always learn alot from your videos,excellent and thank you!👩👍👍
Hi Rosa! I'm so happy to hear that. Thanks for watching! 😊
Hi Sarah, you're back!
New subscriber. Very nice presentation and content. 💯🙌
Really nice
Thank u sarah
I love oyster bar and that milk place. Great food
thats whispering walls is something you haveto try for yourself... till this day i think it may be mics and speakers hidden... is so cool how good you can hear the other person
Another remarkable video as usual. Two weeks is too long away from your TH-cam family. I know you are a busy working mum but we’ve missed you.
I thought your blouse was stunning the colour was so unique, as usual, your choice of outfits are always very beautiful. I hope to meet you in New York next year on my bucket list trip to New York. I will plan my trip around your tours of this magnificent, intriguing city.
Thank you Sarah ❤
You're welcome! Thank you for watching! 😊
GREAT VLOG 💯👏🥰
Hi just started watching your New York Vlogs, amazing explanation of New York, there's a donut place in Australia at one of our shopping centres called Brooklyn Donuts something like that & wow so much selection of different donuts 🍩 taste amazing 👏. Love the vlogs so far, definitely a place worth visiting one day 😀 thanks 😊 💟💟
Great video! My partner and I are planning a vacation and are curious to know how many days you think are necessary to experience everything you mentioned?
I went on 2018, i need to do it again, but with a bit of You guidance 🥰
Looking forward to when I visit NYC. I only drove through it on the way to Cape Cod. Thanks for the video. 👏🏻
Hey Sarah, love your videos on New York. Taking my girl in April. What was the name of the mini boat cruise during sunset?
Awesome!
Hi Sarah good to meet a NY city expert 🤗🤗 I'm going feb5 and I'm looking to through all your videos
Thanks for watching! I hope you have a great trip!
Love your videos! We are taking my almost 9 year old son to NYC for the first time in December. And it will be my first time visiting around the holidays. What do you recommend for a pocketbook/bag? I’ve watched your videos on what to wear but was wondering what you recommend for a bag. Thank you!
Wear a small crossbody and bring a médium tote bag because you get charged for some bags that you get shopping. Hope this helps.
Thanks forcthe great videos Sarah! We’re planning to visit NY city this summer for the 1st time so I’ve been watching your videos lately and I learned a lot about NY city from you. We’re planning to stay at Double Tree (525 8th Avenue, New York, New York, 10018, USA), just curious about location’s safety and and would like to know your inputs and hear What do you think from NYer perspective. Thank you.
This video was awesome sauce.
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching! 😊
Your Channel is so helpful , Thanks
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
@@SarahFunky I have my interview for B1/B2 visa, and I am planning to visit New York this year.
NYC is much prettier with you in it!
Thanks for the video! My partner and I will be coming to NYC from the UK for new year. Is there anything you could recommend for NYE? We are 25 and have a medium budget but don’t mind spending a little more on New Years.
How was it
Nothing beats NY pizza suprema. Their vegan and traditional slices are unreal!!! Best in NYC in my opinion
Hi Sarah
Great vudeo.
A few,years ago Museum of the city of NY very nice place.
How ever I liked going to the Museum of Natural History.
When it comes to Pizza any place in NYC is good.
People go to NYC for sporting events Rangers,Kbicks, Mets , Yankees , Nets and even the Brooklyn Cyclones..
Not just Central Park is beautiful. Domino Park and Marcia P Johnson in Williamsburg Brooklyn. Brooklyn Bridge Park is beautiful.
Any way a great video . Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Hi Sarah! Glad TH-cam found you for me! Would you consider doing an itinerary video for the holidays? Week of Xmas?
man wish I was in NY milkbar looks good
Sarah, I love both you and your videos. Bella is just too cute.
Greetings from Aguascalientes, México
I cant wait , flight booked , hostel in the best price in town booked, everything ready.
Hopefully some lockdown will not ruined my trip.
Top of the rock vs Top of the edge, which would you recommend for NYC firstimer? Thanks Sarah
So looking forward to bringing my favourite wife and family over next year. 🤞🏻🙏🏻😳.
Look after each other from this side of the pond here in England (Brexitland 🤭🇪🇺) 🤗😍😉
Hello Sarah, thank you for your great videos.
Is it me or did you not mention what the first observatory is, where you are at the glass corner outside? It can’t be the One Vanderbilt cause as you mentioned one is 1100 feet and the other 1056 feet. I’m kinda confused. 🤨
Best place on Earth
Even tho it’s not my first time. But this will be the 3rd time in August. Love NYC.
On a budget the Staten Island ferry is free and best way to see the Statue of Liberty.
You are a Gorgeous view too- love your Channel
Any video for what to do in April ?
I actually went to Bleecker Street Pizza (along with Grimaldi's on your food tour) during my first NYC trip two months ago! The pizza was so delicious! I did quite a bit of these during my trip, so I'm glad I planned things very well! One sight I would add to this list would be the 9/11 Memorial due to how important it is (especially if you go to One World Observatory as your choice of observation deck). I thought the memorial was well constructed and very beautiful. This is a great guide! I'll have to check out the Milk Bar on the next trip!
I'm happy you got to do a lot during your trip! I'm glad you like this guide! Thanks for watching! 😊
@@SarahFunkyI am solely letting your wisdom be my guide for visiting in January (I know, I know … it’s cold … but it is when I have time). I am taking my daughter and two year old granddaughter, so I need to be mindful of their needs and wants while visiting. I am in the area (I live in Oregon), for the entire month of January, so I may head out on my own to engage in more “grown up” shenanigans, but my objective for this milestone trip for them is to make it as truly enjoyable as possible. They are moving to WV for school and I am considering relocating to be closer to them, but absolutely cannot imagine planting myself in West Virginia. So this is a “fishing trip” for me. New York is not that far in comparison, and I do have friends who have relocated there so I will have places to land should I decide to relocate. Thank you for all you do!!
Did you bring a stroller inside the Summit One? If so, was it difficult to manage and did they hassle you about bringing in a diaper bag?
We love Isabella!! ❤️ ♥️ 💕
❤️
Hi Sarah I have been watching you and here be barr videos prior to my trip to NYC this month. I have noticed you both have mentioned you can book to go up the statue of liberty. I have a trip there planned but unsure who you book to go up the statue with. Do you have any insight?
Hi Bella !!!!! Edge vs. One Vanderbilt if you have a 10 year old? I'll be in the city next month for the Cirque du Solelis show. What's the deal with "The Rise"?
For anyone watching this video - her tours are worth it- her tour guides are really good. If you're thinking about it - don't hesitate...it's a good walking tour of downtown.
Any recommendations for a smaller boutique hotel?
Yeah, I think I'll stay in the Presidential Suite. Good idea.
Nice
I'm loving your content! Could you do a 'lies sex and the city told about NYC' video?
Coming for our very first visit in July-family of four with a 14 year old and an 11 year old. Any family recommendations?
ok!
Is "Milk Bar" a reference to the "Korova Milk Bar" from Clockwork Orange?
Hi! I am staying at 3 different Airbnb's during my NYC visit. Transitioning between them leaves me with my luggage all. Do you have a suggested app or location that offers temp luggage storage?
Sure, I used luggage hero and conveniently stored my bags at a family grocery store by Times Square.
Thanks man! That was very helpful and saved me carrying my luggage all day!

Eres una mujer muy simpática 😊
I love would you put the price up with what your doing. I'm going to NYC in July and I love to see how much it cost
what is the cruises boat you recommend to see nyc and the statue of liberty. i donot see the link
Booked for 4 nights in march this year, super excited.. got Times Square at night, 9/11 tour, Brooklyn bridge, Summit one, crown tickets n wicked booked, need to find Katz n bleacker street pizza too 😋
I was I was in Times Square again. But I'm a CUNY student.
Can you do a video on how to plan a solo trip with your dog? I want to take my husky. Thanks, New York is amazing
Sarah your baby is so cute
What about east village pizza? I heard it was good
I gave you a LIKE!
Thank you!
Very surprised she did not mention 911 MemoriL or museum, I feel that is something everyone needs to see.
I want to see the statue of Liberty museums Junior's Restaurant Time Square.And the shopping district.
I’ve never been to New York but would love to visit it someday!
Hi Francis! Hopefully you will get to!! Thanks for watching!
Hey Sarah is there vaccine card mandates in place now? Planning a trip there
There are thousands of skyscrapers all over the world but the Empire State Building is still the most beautiful building ever built.
I was just I'm NyC for 8 days it was a blast . Went to a jazz club, walked a ton BUT SORRY Scarrs pizza is the best will throw down on any.
So glad you had a great time!!
Sarah -Great video ,can u share coupon code for New York in One Day Guided Sightseeing Tour By USA Guided Tours New York
"Who also designed Prospect Park in Brooklyn".
Clearly, some of these specific spots were sponsored. Not a good look not informing your viewers
Some of them are... obviously the average person isn't going to get comp'ed the presidential suite at the Hyatt Grand Central. It's just promotion. A lot of tour people get these "perks" - you have any idea what the kickback is to people that organize shore excursions on cruise ships? Doesn't make her any less knowledgeable or engaging on a tour. I've met her once and she is a very down to earth, friendly person that's easy to talk to.
@@JimAllen-Persona I don't doubt that. But picking out a specific restaurant that everyone visiting NYC for the first time should go to should not be one that is sponsored if the creator has respect for themselves or for their audience
Sarah funk braless look
@@jonasdeseanShe was pretty clear about having been invited there, obviously for a plug because she has a fairly large audience of tourists or possible transplants. I don’t see that she did anything beyond the pale. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity for her sweet family and I for one am happy they were afforded this opportunity.
Community problem of money will solve money problem. Kingdom of Saudia Arabia will announced 250000 million riyal to pay whole community. I will more help to the community by this Sunday. So good news will announce by Monday next week.
😊👍🇹🇹🇹🇹
Prices...
First thing is try not to get mugged or shot! 🤣😂🤣
Bella and Sarah seem to be Jewish Ashkenazi names. Is it still safe to be Jewish in New York?
First 💕💕
Edge is great, but too many people.
It would be really good if they did videos like this but without food element.
Just with the tourist places to go.
Half of these videos are all about food but what do you do in between eating.
i think nyc pizza is overrated. when i went to nyc beginning of Nov. this year, I went to Washington Square and had some food from Thiru the Dosa Man and Naya. Do you have any highly recomended vegetarian or vegan joints in nyc? I am not saying I am but i prefer to eat low to zero carb plant based food. street food is a plus. I'm not a baller like that.
Subs en español 🥲
The idea for the video is great, but TOO much publi for one video. One advertise per video is enough…
I wish you would mark “ads” for things that you got paid to talk about? Sometimes I feel like a lot of your videos include stuff were comped or you were paid for. Idk what to trust?
First timers going to a SPA?? Highly doubt it. Sorry but this videos are starting to show way too much ads and sponsors.
The spa is not an ad nor a sponsor. I just love spas lol
@@SarahFunky ahah alright then. So what about the new spa in governors island?
